Ángel Palacios
Ángel joins Cúrate Tapas Bar from Barcelona, bringing decades of decorated experience with traditional Spanish cooking and modern technique.
His role leading Michelin-starred kitchens — from serving as Executive Chef and General Manager of Restaurant La Broche (Madrid and Miami), to Chef de Partie at three-starred Martín Berasategui and Katie and Felix’s own accoladed culinary alma mater, Elbulli — has gleaned countless awards and mentions, including inclusion as a Food & Wine Best New Chef.
Once a professor at Basque Culinary Center University, Ángel is a natural teacher, and leads the Cúrate kitchen with dedication and care, sharing his knowledge, refining techniques, and grounding the restaurant’s menu in Spanish tradition.
